How Can We Maximize Greek Membership?

[irishpipes]

Should all sororites be given a spring quota of say, 5, and they would all participate in semi-formal spring recruitment?

This may be a good idea from both sides of the aisle. Chapters that NEVER have to COB because they always take quota during formal will be forced to learn how to COB. That way, if Greek Life takes a slow turn, as it often does with changes in the economy, social climate, etc., these chapters will be comfortable with the COB process. Also, if even the strongest chapters participate in COB, even for just a few spaces, it may remove some of the stigma associated with COB on some campuses.

ETA: After thinking more about this, it may actually encourage PNMs to drop out of formal when the almighty ABC drops them. Her thinking may be that they can still get into ABC if they drop out and then COB since every chapter will be forced to take some PNMs in COB. Hmmm... Something like this may neccesitate even more rules.
